The fast changing climatic conditions due to current global change pose a serious threat to the planet's biodiversity and to the ecosystem services it provides. In case of abrupt climate change as currently observed, species need either to adapt to their new conditions, or migrate into favorable habitats. Here I propose a comprehensive study to investigate the genomic adaptations driven by environmental factors in sugar maples, a species complex with a wide distribution in eastern North-America.

由于目前的全球变化，气候条件迅速变化，对地球的生物多样性及其提供的生态系统服务构成严重威胁。在目前观察到的气候突变的情况下，物种需要适应新的环境，或者迁移到有利的栖息地。在这里，我提出了一个全面的研究，以调查糖枫树，一个物种复杂的广泛分布在北美东部的环境因素驱动的基因组适应。
